Blacklead Stories

Ninety days. One movie house. And a "No-men" rule that's about to be shattered by the guy next door. Cassandra Meraki is one double-shift away from a total breakdown. Between a nursing career that's sucking her dry and a friend group that's shallow, she's done. And don't even get her started on her cheating ex-boyfriend, who doesn't understand the word blocked. So she does what any sane, delusional book lover would do: she rents the iconic Montana ridge-house from her favorite movie, Caught in Déjà Vu. The goal: 90 days of silence to finally finish her own book. The reality: Having a suitcase full of things she's doesn't need and the crushing realization that she has no idea how to survive the wilderness. But fear not... Her neighbor, Adonis, is everything a rom-com lead should be-grumpy, mysterious and infuriatingly attractive- except he's real. In the movies, the girl always gets her happy ending. But in the middle of Montana with a persistent ex on her trail and a neighbor who hates her guts, Cass is about to find out that real life doesn't follow a script.

In a bustling college town, Khadija Ndiaye, a brilliant young coder, pours her passion into crafting an innovative video game, driven by her desire to shatter barriers in the male-dominated tech industry. Her tireless efforts in the solitude of her dorm room are fueled by a dream - to create a truly immersive and life-changing gaming experience. Across campus, Royce Engel, the star quarterback, finds himself struggling to maintain his grades amidst the pressures of pursuing a professional athletic career. When assigned Khadija as his tutor, Royce is initially skeptical, but her ability to explain complex concepts with clarity and respect soon earns his admiration. An unlikely friendship blossoms, transcending social divides as Royce attends Khadija's gaming events, and she cheers him on at his football games. Eager to support Khadija's revolutionary project, Royce gathers his roommates - KJ, the protective offensive tackle; Hikaru, the agile wide receiver; and Paige, a talented cheerleader with a passion for fine arts - for a game testing session in Khadija's dorm. As a thunderstorm rages outside, a freak lightning strike causes a power surge, filling the room with electric energy. In a blinding flash, the group is transported into the vibrant, fantastical realm of Khadija's digital creation. Awakening as their avatars - Khadija as the powerful Aasimar Honeth, Royce as the fiery-spirited Goliath Blaze, KJ as the orc wizard Delvin, Hikaru as the High Elven warrior Darthoridan, and Paige as the illusionist fey Frost - they must navigate this new world while learning to harness their newfound abilities. Their real-world traits directly influence their gaming prowess, with Royce's quarterback precision enhancing his pyromancy, KJ's protective nature bolstering his healing magic, Hikaru's speed translating to elvish agility, and Paige's performance background amplifying her illusion powers.

-Why do you want so badly to talk to me? His voice, usually cold and distant, was softer. He stood straight in front of me, his body casting a shadow that made me feel small under his gaze. Bright had always been difficult to approach, his words were often sharp, his presence intimidating and unpleasant, but today, there was something different, a tiny crack in his icy mask. -I hate being alone, I whispered, feeling a lump form in my throat. My eyes slowly lifted to meet his, a hesitation heavy with meaning in that simple gesture. So, I make sure others don't feel that way. His silence lasted a few seconds too long, as if he was weighing each of my words. -I like being alone. His face remained impassive. Usually, he responded curtly, shutting others out without explanation, but this time, he seemed to linger on his own words. -No one likes being alone, I said softly, not wanting to hurt him, but desperately trying to understand. He took a step closer, crossing that invisible line he never let anyone cross. His imposing stature forced me to look up to meet his gaze. -I do. This time, his tone was more assertive, but he seemed to struggle to maintain that facade. -But you're not alone, Bright. The words came out faster than I had intended. I knew they were risky, but I refused to watch him close off like he did with everyone else. He looked at me, and the silence stretched, heavy and thick, as if he was weighing something bigger than our simple words. His gaze rested on my face, sliding slowly, analyzing every detail as if trying to understand why I was insisting so much. Usually, he would have turned away, ignored my remark, but now, he stood there, his eyes tracing my features. He seemed to be searching every corner of my face for answers. -Why me, Aspen? His voice dropped lower, and he tilted his head slightly to the side, raising an eyebrow. This wasn't the distant and cold Bright speaking anymore. -Why not you Bright? 🩷For my black girlies 🩷
